Essays

Here I mostly write down whatever happens to be in my head, usually around AI, consciousness, human creativity and how all of this connects, and maybe, with time, you will find many other subjects.. I (really) try to ground it in my own and other people’s research, and to keep it, as much as I can, unbiased and based on data. With that said, I feel it is important to state upfront that you should read these as personal notes (if you read them all together, mind you), maybe small extensions of myself, but please do not mistake them for scientific evidence (the papers are the evidence; this is just me thinking out loud, but with citations).

You will find some of the pieces not written in the most basic and easy way. You will find (as you already see here, I think) a lot of talking between parentheses and dashes, many sentences within sentences, hedges, and ideas that expand to another, and then another, and then (if) I come back to the first. This is due to multiple reasons. The main one (at least true at the hour of writing this) would be my lack of experience and writing skills (especially as I am not a native English speaker, but yeah, AI helps with that). I am rather new to this. But the second reason (and please believe me) is intentional: these are pieces that I see as extensions of thought, intended to be thought-provoking, not just to transfer knowledge, but to transfer questions? Thoughts? Ideas? Problems I have? And to extend what I write into the personal perception and thinking process of the reader (and I hope I succeed in that). And most IMPORTANT: to whoever reads any of this, I hope you ENJOY it!
